Perhaps we should not use 'contractions' either! I am not the best speller in the world and my grammer is pretty poor as well but, if I spot a mistake by some one else I would not dream of commenting about it. Viv |

Thanks ! John, Dave and Sue, I am glad I am not the only one ! and Sue, its not that you are an old fogey like me ! I believe that children learn by example, so why not tell your granddaughter to use the word 'Bye' instead. |

as long as we can get the drift of what the person is saying I cant really see what the problem is. Remember on here is a rich tapestry of people, many who have writing/spelling difficulties. Our ways of writing are all different and as long as we dont upset others I cant see why U R worrying. Elaine x |

When I talk to my grandaughter on msn or she texts me she always ends with bibi. It took me ages to work that one out - old fogey that I am! Sue (guilty of using 'rellies') :o( xx |

Or is it they can't spell? or just too lazy to type it correctly? for example: 'Gonna' and 'Wanna' And this one : 'Rellie's' ? which is used quite often, what are they ? |
